On the Fly: Variations & Improvisation
The art of improvising over a structured musical framework is an ancient one.  By the early Baroque, this pairing of constancy and fantasy had evolved to include rich, often spectacularly virtuosic variations, some written down and some played ex tempore. Join recorder player Anne Timberlake and bass violin expert Jeremy Ward as they explore this exciting repertoire, bringing urgency and vitality to music by Van Eyck, Corelli and more.

About the Artists
Anne Timberlake (recorders) has performed in 34 states, playing repertoire from across the last millennium. She grew up in early music, beginning her studies as part of Indiana University’s Pre-College Recorder Program, and later earned degrees in recorder performance from Oberlin Conservatory and Indiana University. Her teachers have included Eva Legene, Alison Melville, and Han Tol. Critics have praised Anne’s “fine technique and stylishness,” “unexpectedly rich lyricism” (Letter V), and “dazzling playing” (Chicago Classical Review). Anne has received awards from the American Recorder Society and the National Foundation for the Advancement of the Arts, and was awarded a Fulbright Grant. With her ensemble Wayward Sisters, Anne won Early Music America’s Naxos Recording Competition, releasing a debut CD on the Naxos label.

As a specialist of early bass instruments, Jeremy David Ward (Baroque cello) focuses on playing well with others. He delights in crafting foundations on which a musical ensemble can stand and thrive. Jeremy’s work ranges from playing bass violin in Chicago’s storied Newberry Consort violin band, providing continuo support in the 17th-century winds and strings ensemble Rook, and holding down a one-man rhythm, bass, and harmony section in his duo with award-winning 18th-century Scottish fiddler Tim Macdonald.
